Install Jelly Bean 4.2 on Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 Using CyanogenMod 10.1

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 is one of those devices which have little to no chance of getting Android 4.2, also known as Jelly Bean. However the recent builds of CyanogenMod 10.1, which are rather unofficial, would install Android 4.2 on your device and would also boost the general performance.

Like any other ROM, this one would also void your device’s warranty. So, proceed at your own risk. Moreover, if you have not performed ROM installing in the past, please try it under a supervision.

Step 1. First of all copy the download GoogleApps and CM10.1 Zip files to your internal SD card.

Step 2: Boot into Recovery – For this purpose turn of your tab. Now restart it while holding down the volume down and power button simultaneously. Keep pressed both buttons until you see Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 logo. At this point you can release the power button but keep holding Volume down button for few more seconds until you see CWM recovery.

Step 3: While navigating in Menus using the volume and home buttons, back up your device first.
